Mark 11, 12

Playing a little catchup here. In Mark 11 in reference to the
colt/donkey/burro needed Jesus says, "Tell them the Lord needs it and
will return it soon."NLT I love it. And the people with the donkey let
it go - as it turns out for noble use. To be in the grand celebration
of the king of Kings and Lord of Lords. Here's a question - what do we
have that may need to be borrowed for the Lord's use? (Now that is from
preachin to meddlin... it is mine mine mine...) Really? Let us be the
ones to share what we have. My experience is that in the 3rd. world
some things are held much more lightly - as ifsome possessions belong
to the community. I have seen the home chairs of friends brought to the
church so that the big white guy can be honored for visiting, etc.

Next
stop. 11:25 "When you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding
a grudge against." Let's go with this and some of the parables Jesus
was teaching. IF YOU SEE YOURSELF IN THE STORY pay attention, make
adjustments, figure it out. You don't have all day.

Last stop. 12:24 Two big problems we all must wrestle with -
You don't know the scriptures...
You don't know the power of God. OUCH! Something is needling me here.
Shalom and stay warm. Alan
